Ringleader Jordan won't won't leave him alone and the troubles in the area mean his wife Beth wants to move away. But after taking matters into his own hands, Simon is left to make sense of his actions and the fallout.
Although much of the drama is being kept under wraps to avoid spoiling any plot twists, we know the thriller will focus on the consequences for Simon and others in his life. Radio Times says viewers can expect "plenty of twists, turns and panicked gulps" across the series.
The series is set in the UK but was filmed on the outskirts of Budapest. Read on to find out everything you need to know about the series.
Simon is an under-pressure businessman whose middle-class suburban life is on the brink in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis.

Denmark’s King Frederik, Queen Mary’s impressive ‘earnings’ revealed — and they’re set for a huge pay raise
official finance report published by the Danish Palace Tuesday shows that the majority of the couple’s income — paid for by the state — covered their housing and staff costs.It also covered other “dependent” members of the Danish royal family.Of the nearly $2 million they raked in, $323,000 was set aside as a “grant” for Mary, who was the Crown Princess at the time ahead of Queen Margrethe II’s abrupt abdication in January.This left them with just under $415,000 to spend on leisure travel, shopping, and personal expenses.Margrethe, who stripped her youngest son’s family of their royal titles before her abdication, received an eye-watering sum of $8.4 million, with a private allowance of $5.7 million, in 2023.Frederik and Mary will be looking to cash in even more this year.The pair are also owners of a luxury ski lodge in Switzerland, which they list on AirBnB for up to $20,000 per week.The Danish royal family’s appanage system is set to be challenged by the government, which hopes to overhaul the current arrangement, according to local outlet DR News.This means that the royal family’s finances will be more transparent to the public, and will indicate the exact amount the royal household is given, as well as how they choose to divvy up the sum.Unlike the British royals, the Danish royal family does not need to pay taxes.Frederik and Mary ascended to the throne after Queen Margrethe — third cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II — revealed in her New Year’s speech on Dec. 31 that she would be stepping down on Jan.
